#ProjectWeekend | Feb 25-26

I've lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia my entire life, but it wasn't until I became an "adult" that I began to appreciate how special this place truly is. We are a 3 hour drive from NY, DC, and Baltimore, a short drive to the Jersey shore, and we have everything Philly has to offer (best foodie city ever!) in our backyard. I grew up in Downingtown, PA,  a historic, small town about 25 miles west of Philadelphia. Growing up, one of my favorite places to eat was the Downingtown Diner. For a small town, this diner represented a central location where you could enjoy some good grub and even better company. It also was our town's "claim to fame" because it was featured in the famous movie The Blob . It had been at least 15 years since I ate at the Downingtown Diner so I figured I should introduce Carmen to the greatest place on earth. She loved it.
